The mug sold to ebtiki who noticed the letters too. No contest this time but it did cross my mind. Did your necklace arrive? I run the kiln for 13 hours because I do preheats with a slow ramp. To cool it takes at least a day and a half. dartharnie guess what I'll be glazing your wolf-man as soon I finish this one. Sorry you had to wait. The next few days I'll be posting in the evening showing the Sacramento crawl photos. I'm on a break from working on the Wish List. LoriLovesTiki you'll have to make some mugs that you can swap in the future because it is just too much fun to miss. Pineapple Bob is not sold. Most of the Bob's have not sold but PM's can be sent. The recent Bob's are $75 but Pineapple Bob is a taller Bob and he costs $5,000! Just kidding. He's $85. Most of the Bob's are still for sale. Progress Report on the Bob's and a few Wish List items: We opened the kiln this morning. Top layer. Bottom layer. When the kiln was empty I put in all the things that needed a touch up. We took them out to the back yard where they will be hosed off. I can see Alii Tiki's bowl and Beachbumz's bowl and a War God for Professor G and a couple of Bob's for ebtiki. Lots of these still need homes. The weather turned bad. It's overcast, cold and windy. Not a good day to be drenched. Since I didn't want to leave them in the back yard while we crawl this weekend we carried them all into the house. There is always work that doesn't show up. Psycho Tiki D is the person who got us into making ceramics. He also is a friend who we treasure. He came today to pick up his Test #3 crawl mug since he is missing the event. Dang it PTD you better go next year! he said he would Every tiki/creature came out of the kiln just fine. The Diver's Cove the most likely to blow up since it had puffer fish didn't. I'm super happy with the success of this firing. Soon we'll be on our crawl. It's going to be a terrific one. I wish you could all be with us. Cheers, Wendy
